WIP and Halloween Haunts Schedule

Hey folks!!  I had a very nice day today, with a few friends.  We got together to sew....imagine that...lol!!  It was a productive day too....besides laughing and tormenting each other, we made progress.

This is what I complete today...started it last month at our get together,
A Do-Nut quilt top....it is such a simple little quilt and very quick.  And, I got my blocks pieced for the 100 club quilt.
Not the best pic...it is a disappearing nine patch with Whitewashed Cottage fabric.
The girls were working on a number of items..mainly quilts of some sort. 

Besides today's projects, I have my pillow finished for this months FMQ challenge, but can't show you yet. It will be posted very soon.
I have a start on Rose's quilt.....hand quilting.
Close up
I simply love her fabrics!!!  Now, besides these...I have three more to hand quilt by Christmas. And five or six of my own to quilt somehow.  Mine will most likey be machine quilted...not enough time.  Lol
Of course, mine are not by Christmas....not this year.  Everyone got quilts last year.

I think that is it for wips this week. Have a great week...and check out the blogs listed below.  Nice work going on, and giveaways!!!

started the hops up again.  And did you hear....Fat Quarter Shop is giving away a $25.00 gift certificate every day of the blog hop??????  Wow!!  How great is that, eh!

Today is my day to show you what I put together for this one.  I saw this table runner in a magazine that I won last year from a hop. Now that is just cool!
So; on with it.....here are pics of my Halloween Haunt piece.  I did the applique with a blanket stitch, and the webs are done with my walking foot.  This was a very fun little project.









I just love the glass pumpkins that my hubby bought  for the table....don't you?  Now another look at the runner...
 Who knew...we had guests just outside our back door?????   lol
Happy Halloween everyone!!!!!  Enjoy the hop...

WIP Wednesday

Linking up to Monika over at http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/2015/10/wip-wednesday-214-tn.html.

Well, remember this one from last week?
Yes!!!  Well, I finished it on Sunday and bound it last night.  And before I could even take a picture of it this morning...the owner was at my door to see how things were going.  Of course, she took it home..with me forgetting the picture!!!!
But she was thrilled with it!!!!

This lovely one is arriving this week for me to hand quilt for a friend.
In the meantime, I am piling hardwood in for winter...so, not bored yet....lol.
This afternoon, I helped a good friend go through her sewing supplies. She isn't well, and can't work at   her machines anymore. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but we got things taken care of.
She has a serger and a Pfaff 2046 to sell now.  

Besides this I am getting things finished up for the Halloween Haunts blog hop starting on Friday...I am on the first day. Will be nice giveaways...
Hope to see you all there!!!!!!!

WIP Wednesday

Hello everyone!  I'm trying to keep posting works in progress, but it seems I am losing interest in it lately.  Maybe it's the time of the year....winter may change things.

So....right now, I am getting ready to ship the photo memory quilt out. Sorry, I can't post a pic, as it is a surprise gift and I was asked not to. But it turned out great, and the customer is excited.

I finished hand quilting this customer quilt a few days ago and bound it.
I love a nice sampler...
I have another customer quilt in the frames, hand quilting it now.
This is a gift for a child...will quilt up quickly.

I have one more quilt here, waiting to be hand quilted, and there are 3 to 5 more coming.
I am ready for the Halloween blog hop starting on the 16 th. There will be giveaways too.
I am linking up to Monika over here....

Have a great day, everyone!!!!

FMQ Challenge/Sept 2015

Hello again! This year is just flying by here...I find it going way too fast.  We are at the end of Sept. already, and posting this months pillow challenge.  This time around, our professional is Terri Lucas.
She does fantastic things with her kaleidoscope effects of fabric!!


Now, before showing you my pillow....Explaining is required...lol.  Well, you know how sometimes, we think we know what we are doing????  Lol....that was one of those times for me.
I went ahead and made my pillow, quilting my feather freehand...then went back to check out the page!!!!!  You know the rest...don't you!   Wrong thing to do!!!!  Too funny though...really, get in a hurry, then spend more time re doing.

So, here is my first pillow...the mistake.
Right....wrong!!!  lol
Now, the right pillow....
See...we were suppose to trace this little feather because of the kalidescope effect. But, in all one colour...it doesn't show anyway. I just filled the back ground with a fun filler. 
This was the last option possible for this month; as all the other options required software that I don't have. This one went back to the 2012 challenge.

So, there you go folks....another month finished up! Please take a look at the linky page to see some great pieces.
